7 Random Things (or is it 8?) & 'Tocks Photos

Rachel tagged me for this (and I know I've done it once before) but I thought, why not do 7 (or 8) more...? Especially since this has been a rough week and I ain't got a lot else to show for it? So here are a few more tidbits about me...

1. I am capable of "zoning out" on just about anything, EXCEPT babies, toddlers & small children who are crying, chattering or otherwise creating chaos...(I probably should never have been a mother) I got VERY good at "zoning out" on my teenager...when she was one. Oh. And crying cats - unless I'm at the vet's.

2. I LOVE my Palm Z22 - tho' I sometimes ignore its beeping to remind me of something (usually to my regret!) Another thing I zone-out on! lol

3. I'm very old fashioned - I think doors should be opened for ladies by gentlemen (the fastest way for a date to "turn me off" is to fail to come to open my door). But I'm very feminist - I'll open the door for a man just b/c I got there first or his arms are full, and with a wink and a smile, tell him he's looking at a feminist.

4. I miss my mother everyday - she's been gone 11 years, but was the best friend I've ever had or will ever have.

5. My next "best friends" are (in no particular order, ladies!) Lynette, Jan, Pat, and Mera. (two are relations by birth, two by "chance.") Most have been in my life for at least 20 years, and I don't know what I'd do if I had to do without any of them....I don't want to know...

6. I have made some very dear friends online. And you all know who you are...

7. IF I ever had a dog, it would be a miniature Poodle...or a Boston Terrier...or a Sheltie...ok...good thing I'll probably never have a dog.

8. My sister sent me this link a couple of weeks ago. We are classical music nuts and we have seen him in concert. He is amazing. I have been in that Metro station (in several Metro stations to be exact) and while I can understand having to rush to work to be ontime, I cannot for the life of me understand how ANYONE could MISS the incredible sound emanating from his violin...(unless you had an I-Pod tuned to something else, I suppose).

I *HEART* Josh Bell (okay I think that's #9...)

And here are a couple of photos to reply to Chris for showing her little gal, Mayhem's, 'tocks.



I do not have to tell you how insulted the Calico Curmudgeon or The Meezer were that I tried to even get these photos, do you?

I wish I had one of BB's 'tocks. (But then, maybe you can guess why I called her "Miss Fluffy Britches?")
